Combines Why no Natural Flow 8IJIJIJ

I also like the transverse rotor design of the Gleaner N and R series combines. But I dont know any reason why Gleaner should have to build a design exclusively to their name Gleaner. In the past they have conventional machines so why cant they have various types of processors. Im sure in due time and research another Class 8 tranverse rotor is on its way. Personally I think they are already on the way with advancements like the CDF rotor. The 75 with a CDF has a huge appetite compared to the old 8 bar cylinder. Wish I had a wider bean head for it now. The 25 ft just wont feed it in good condition soybeans and and 8 row cornhead, well you drive as fast as the head can take it. Hurts brought us out a Bison for the 62 so we hope to have it back in the field and see how it goes also. I think Gleaner had some issues with quality control when Agco became a company and the R series had to suffer a lil bit. Hopefully now that they have turned to concentrating on fewer companies, those companies will get alot more attention.

They always said to make it bigger it needs to go wider and it's at it's max width to get around any place but the field.

Don't know the answer to your question but all it takes to classify as class 8 is 375.5 or more horsepower. Class 8 will cost you class 8 $'s. I think a better objective than class 8 HP is class 8 capacity with class 7 HP. I think this is often times posible in many crops and conditions with a fine tuned Natural Flow design. long live the Natural Flow Gleaner.
